Mounting in a Panel
• The enclosure must be in accordance with all local
and national electrical codes .
• Lutron does not recommend using a door to enclose
the front of a panel, since this restricts airflow to the
control units and interface devices .
• If mounting multiple control units or interface devices
in an enclosure:
– Ambient temperature within an enclosure MUST
remain between 32–104 °F (0–40 °C) .
– If not mounting in a metal enclosure, all units
MUST be mounted in a wallbox . Refer to
"Wallbox Mounting and Spacing" on page 9 .
• To improve heat dissipation of interface units, (i .e .,
NGRX-PB, GRX-ELVI, etc .), remove the faceplate
from the unit .
CAUTION! GRAFIK Eye 3000 Series control
units and interface devices, such as NGRX-PB,
dissipate heat when operating . Obstructing
these units can cause malfunction to both the
control unit and the interface device if ambient
temperature does not remain between 32–
104 °F (0–40 °C) .
Installing an External Power Supply
Install an external PELV (Class 2: USA) rated 12 V
you need to power 4 to 16 wallstations from a single control unit or if your wire lengths exceed
maximums . The power must be a regulated supply rated for at least 50 mA per wallstation on
the link .
Power supplies do not boost data line signals . The distance limitation for the data line is 2000 ft .
(610 m) .
Make sure you review the manufacturer's instructions before installing .
Lutron offers a 12 V
15 V
power supply is approved for CE and AU models; 12 V
models .
Important Wiring Information
1. Connect the Common and Power wires from the power supply to Terminals 1 and 2 on all
wallstations . Do not connect this wire to any control units on the link . Be sure that the terminal 1
connection is made to all wallstations and control units .
2. Lutron recommends these maximum distances from the external 12 V
sixteenth wallstation:
• #18 AWG (1 .0 mm
• #12 AWG (2 .5 mm
Note that the allowable maximum distance depends on the number of wallstations in the system .
Refer to separate Application Note W14 or contact Lutron Technical Support for additional
information .
